User talk:Hendra I. Nurdin

Tasks: start a new article • add basic, wanted or requested articles • add definitions • add metadata • edit new pages

Welcome to the Citizendium! We hope you will contribute boldly and well. Here are pointers for a quick start, and see Getting Started for other helpful "startup" links, our help system and CZ:Home for the top menu of community pages. You can test out editing in the sandbox if you'd like. If you need help to get going, the forum is one option. That's also where we discuss policy and proposals. You can ask any user or the editors for help, too. Just put a note on their "talk" page. Again, welcome and have fun! Aleksander Stos 01:51, 31 August 2007 (CDT)

Maths

Warm welcome to your contributions in maths! I added a little something to open set to ensure its existence (stubs below 50 words may be deleted), but it badly needs some copy editing ;-) Aleksander Stos 11:52, 31 August 2007 (CDT)

More welcome

Hello, and also welcome from me. It's nice to see somebody else who went from Twente to Australia! I made some small changes to your start at Borel set. For instance, I changed "$\sigma -$ algebra" to "σ-algebra", which I think looks nicer. I also removed the empty section headings (References and External links), which seem rather odd without any content. Of course, feel free to complain or undo my edits if you feel like it (but in the latter case, please explain why).

Well, I hope to see you around. Do ask me if anything is unclear, and enjoy your stay! Cheers, Jitse Niesen 04:42, 1 September 2007 (CDT)

Beste Jitse,

Thanks for your message and help with polishing the entry on Borel sets, I'm happy with the changes made. It's also nice to hear from someone else from Twente! I have a friend who got his PhD from Toegepaste Wiskunde - UT last year and is now doing a postdoc in the EE dept at the University of Melbourne, so it is not quite as rare as one may think :) I was with the Systems, signals and control group at Twente and worked with Prof. Arunabha Bagchi, I guess you were with the Numerical Analysis group (Ruud van Damme)?

Met vriendelijke groet Hendra I. Nurdin 06:18, 1 September 2007 (CDT) PS. Mijn Nederlands is erg slecht en minimaal, but I try to use the little that I know once in a while

I attended only one course on numerics in Twente, which was indeed given by Ruud van Damme, and I only attended it because it was obligatory. I was in the group of Ruud Martini; I think it was called Applied Analysis or something like that. Ruud Martini might not have been around when you were in Enschede, and the whole group dissolved because of the reorganization that took place in the department about five years ago. Anyway, I only got into numerical analysis when I moved to England to do my PhD. -- Jitse Niesen 02:24, 2 September 2007 (CDT)

Editor welcome

Welcome, new editor! We're very glad you've joined us. Here are pointers for a quick start. Also, when you get a chance, please read The Editor Role. You can look at Getting Started and our help system for other introductory pages. It is also important, for project-wide matters, to join the Citizendium-L (broadcast) mailing list. Announcements are also available via Twitter. You can test out editing in the sandbox if you'd like. If you need help to get going, the forum is one option. That's also where we discuss policy and proposals. You can ask any administrator for help, too. Just put a note on their "talk" page. Again, welcome and thank you! We appreciate your willingness to share your expertise, and we hope to see your edits on Recent changes soon. --Larry Sanger 10:50, 11 September 2007 (CDT)

closure

Funny, I was working on the disambiguation even as you wrote to me about it! I've been trying to avoid URL's with ( ) in them, since these are more difficult for people to link to, but if you prefer that name, so be it. Thanks for helping out in here!Pat Palmer 20:38, 17 September 2007 (CDT)

you comment

Hello, I responded to your concerns and commentes to "Engineering" at the engineerings talk page and on my talk page

nmr page

Hendra, I do plan on making an NMR page, but if you look at the wikipedia article you will see just how much work this will take. At present, I made the page List of nuclear magnetic resonance experiments which I still need a little help with. In particular, I need to look up references for the solid state experiments. I think you might be the only other guy here that knows anything about NMR besides me.

o O

Hi! Right, the quotients need to be handled with care and formally it'd be easier to avoid it. I have however impression that using the limit is somewhat traditional, even if somewhat abusive (at least for little o, not very sure about big O). So I'll check it against a book and I'll let you know. As for the scope, in addition to what you propose, I'd be tempted to add a word about popular applications/usages, at least in math (e.g. Taylor expansion, asymptotic series..). Perhaps some basic operations/formal properties of the symbol. Ideally it'd nice if we could include a section about typical applications in sciences/informatics with links to separate articles if possible/interesting enough (alternatively we could delegate it to "related articles" subpage). Cheers, Aleksander Stos 06:45, 10 October 2007 (CDT)

Hi again - just to thank you in advance for your patience; actually, I won't be able to check it until tomorrow afternoon. Aleksander Stos 11:25, 10 October 2007 (CDT)

Hi. I checked some sources (mainly textbooks 'cause the topic is quite elementary). Actually it's possible to find a definition of Big O without limsup (although I spotted some defs with the fraction to be bounded). I wasn't able to see any def of little o without lim. So I think we shouldn't avoid this formula. The case when g is null around the limit point (x_0 or \infty) doesn't really appear in practice (esp. in applications) so many authors even do not care. But I think you were right - we shall be more careful and at least mention the possible exception. If you don't mind, I'll reintroduce limits / fractions.

Belated welcome...

...to Citizendium. If you speak Indonesian fluently, you could add your name to CZ:International's list of native/non-native Indonesian speakers. See you around :) --Christian Liem 23:23, 9 November 2007 (CST)

Well you can see the state of it. I'll let it sit for a while and see if the author starts putting together an article. Possibly these are notes for future content? I'm afraid this might be as good as it gets. Chris Day (talk) 18:55, 17 November 2007 (CST)
